Katy Kong

Katy Kong is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who offers focused, direct therapy for adults and couples in Texas. She helps people who feel stuck in repeating patterns that get in the way of relationships and daily life. Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at honest work rather than quick fixes.

Many clients arrive describing cycles like defensiveness, withdrawal, over-functioning, or arguments that keep resurfacing. Katy pays attention to how past experiences influence present reactions and helps people see the patterns as they happen. Understanding what those patterns are protecting is a frequent first step toward change.

She brings 13 years of clinical experience to work with people managing ADHD, especially when it affects emotional regulation, communication, and self-esteem. With couples, she focuses on spotting reactive cycles and building clearer, more accountable ways of talking and connecting.

Sessions are structured and candid, with a pace tailored to challenge without overwhelming. Katy describes her approach as trauma-informed, which means she notices how earlier hurts shape current behavior and uses that information to guide the work.

People who want to move past surface-level conversations and do concrete relationship or behavior work will find a practical orientation in sessions. She encourages steady steps toward change and supports clients as they test new ways of relating and coping.

How Katy's approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connections. Online sessions using this approach help people notice patterns of closeness, withdrawal, or fear and practice new ways of relating in real time. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In teletherapy CBT can be used to identify unhelpful thoughts, try alternative responses, and set small behavioral experiments between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Katy will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, adjusting plans as progress is made. The client and therapist decide together which techniques to use and when to shift focus.

Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what options are currently offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people practice communication and emotional regulation skills in contexts closer to their everyday routines.
